Thiepval barracks bombing

The Thiepval barracks bombing occurred on 7 October 1996 in Lisburn, County Antrim, Northern Ireland when the Provisional IRA launched a double car bomb attack on the Thiepval Barracks, the headquarters of the British Army in Northern Ireland. One British Army soldier was killed, while 31 people were injured in the attack, the first attack on a British military base since the IRA-United Kingdom ceasefire ended in February 1996 with the 1996 Docklands bombing.
